MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the sources, FBI agents arrested Deputy Chief Michael Harrington, Deputy Inspector James Grant, and a NYPD officer from gun licensing division, NBC 4 New York broadcaster reported.
Additionally, the owner of a venture capital firm Jeremy Reichberg who allegedly gave gifts to officers, was arrested, while a Brooklyn businessman Alex Lichtenstein was charged with additional crimes, the media outlet noted.
